Karaoke songs in Japanese that are easy for men in their 60s to sing (71–80)

AMERICA

AMERICA Shogo Hamada
AMERICA

This is a refreshing song that portrays the ordinary, everyday life spent in America, a place approached with a sense of longing.

It’s included on the 1986 album “J.BOY.” The American scenery depicted through country-tinged sounds and lyrics is striking, evoking a strong image of the America you see in films.

The vocals unfold as if slowly looking back on memories, so relaxing your shoulders may help both with ease of singing and with creating the right mood.

It might also be important to focus on singing as if sending your feelings to a faraway place.

If only I had held you tighterWANDS

This was WANDS’s third single overall, released in July 1992.

It was used as the theme song for a Mitsui Life Insurance commercial featuring Atsuko Asano.

A massive hit that became WANDS’s first million-seller (1.663 million copies sold), many of you have likely heard it before.

In the 1990s, when this song was released, singability at karaoke was a key factor for a song to become a hit.

True to that trend, this track is crafted to be very easy to sing—especially the chorus melody—and highly memorable.

I confidently recommend it for men in their 40s who don’t usually sing much.

Enjoy singing it with power throughout!

The track “Yuudachi,” included on the 6th album KAVACH—which also drew attention when a remastered edition was released in 2022 to mark the 50th anniversary of the debut—features a melody woven with a bluesy ensemble and a gritty, mature vocal that really sticks in your ears.

The melodic flow is quite relaxed, and the key is low with a narrow vocal range, so it should be relatively easy to sing even for those who aren’t very confident singers.

However, there’s an arrangement in the middle where the vocal feel shifts dramatically, so don’t let your guard down and keep your focus through to the end.

CoolGō Hiromi

You can’t help but be enchanted by its urban, sophisticated sound.

“Cool” is the 56th single, released in 1985.

From beneath its calm melody line, a gentle affection for a beloved woman subtly comes through.

It almost feels like it’s being sung just for you.

Since the vocal range is relatively narrow, you should be able to sing it at ease, taking your time.

By the way, there’s also a full English version of this song, so trying that might be fun too.

Hiromi Go new song “Yakusoku (Promise)” 7/9 Osaka Festival Hall Day 1

In 2022, timed with their 50th anniversary debut, the single “Jankenpon GO!!” was released, and this song “Yakusoku” was included as the B-side.

The message in the lyrics—“I want to become someone I can be proud of and go see the person I cherish”—is truly wonderful.

It gives you the courage to face tomorrow and gently warms your heart.

Try taking it on when you want to sing a moving ballad.

Even men who aren’t confident with high notes should be able to handle it.

Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi / Shabondama (1991)
Soap bubbleNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

The 24th single “Shabondama,” which benefited from the popularity of the tie-in TV drama of the same name, became a million-seller.

The lyrical guitar riff in the intro and the delicate acoustic guitar tones give the entire song a sense of melancholy.

With a low key, a narrow vocal range, and minimal melodic movement, it’s an easy challenge even for those who aren’t confident singers.

The lyrics evoke the image of someone struggling yet striving to move forward, making it an emotional number that will likely captivate listeners even at karaoke.

Wandering Love SongNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

Released after his 1978 re-debut, “Junrenka,” his second single overall and still a staple at live shows, is a timeless classic.

The blues harp’s wistful tone and sentimental lyrics evoke the charm of old-school folk songs.

The overall tempo is relaxed—including the surging melody in the chorus—and the vocal range isn’t wide, making it approachable even for those who don’t feel confident singing.

If possible, try channeling Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s current vibe; it’s sure to hype up the karaoke room.
